Description

Electrolytical decontamination was carried out of samples of pipes contaminated with radionuclides 137Cs, 134Cs, 60Co, 125Sb, 106Ru, 144Ce and 154Eu with an activity of 628, 35, 503, 20, 120, 428 and 9 Bq/cm2, respectively. A 5% solution of oxalic acid was used as the electrolyte. The decontamination solutions were regenerated using copper hexacyanoferrate(II) as sorbent. The addition of some 280 mg Cu2Fe(CN)6 per 1 litre of decontamination solution reduces its radioactivity by 95 to 98%. (E.S.)
